Autistic people have also said that they want a provision which is aligned to the current NHS mental health and learning disability provision in Rotherham, provided by RDASH. It has been reported that travelling to areas outside of Rotherham can cause anxiety and so locating this in Rotherham in RDaSH would address this cause of anxiety.

Initial assessments can be offered using remote technology. Referrals: GPs and RDaSH professionals can make a referral to the service on behalf of their patient. A mandatory referral form will need to be completed along with an AQ10 from the patient. The service is valued and has made a positive impact in supporting autistic people living in Rotherham as it connects to the post-diagnostic offer provided by Rotherham Parent Carers Forum. The incumbent provider is holding a waiting list for diagnostic assessments. The new NHS procurement regime is not anticipated to be implemented before April 2023 and there may be an implementation period of a further 6 months. However, we are led to understand that the new procurement regime would encourage this approach.
